Draft Grade — Bears
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Bears and Paul Jr.: B+.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Bears watched Chris Paul Jr. slide 65 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The cost of the Hemingway reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Landon Jackson
In pick 14 they get juice off the edge, even if it was a touch early. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Nothing to complain about; Omarion Hampton went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick41 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Aireontae Ersery. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick45 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
The board fumbled Colston Loveland all the way to the Round 2 slot, and they scooped it up. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick72 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
Jalen Royals at No. 72 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It fills a real need, too.
Pick149 Rnd5 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. at slot 149 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick234 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
Taking Jordan Hancock in the 234th pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick235 Rnd7 Tonka Hemingway
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tonka Hemingway this early at the 235th overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick242 Rnd7 Cody Lindenberg
No edge and no loss on Cody Lindenberg in the 242nd pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
